Jackson lived in the house for seven months up until his death in June 2009 and reportedly shelled out $100,000 a month for rent.

In a particularly Hollywood twist, the listing agent for the home is Mauricio Umansky, hubby of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards, and the couple was friends with the pop star.

"I knew him, and my wife has been friends with Michael Jackson since she was 8 to 10 years old," Umansky tells real-estate website Zillow. "And I personally think there's some great energy in the house, and I see it as a major positive. I'm excited to be selling it."

Glad to see someone's putting a positive spin on the place's morbid pedigree. After all, this isn't the first time that property and memorabilia connected with the King of Pop's death has hit the market.

Last year, the pop star's belongings were auctioned off. The bed on which Jackson died was briefly put up for auction, only to be yanked after Jackson's estate balked.

Jackson died on June 25 after suffering a cardiac arrest in the mansion's bedroom. The singer's personal physician, Conrad Murray, was found guilty in November of involuntary manslaughter after administering a lethal dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol to Jackson.

He was sentenced to four years in prison but is expected to serve less than two years due to overcrowding in the Los Angeles County Jail.
